The Italian Data Protection Authority also warns that OpenAI could face fines unless it requires ChatGPT to comply with local privacy laws.
An Italian regulator is ordering a ban on ChatGPT for violating the EU’s privacy rules through the “unlawful” collection of user data.
The Italian Data Protection Authority today announced it had “imposed an immediate temporary limitation” that bars OpenAI from processing users’ data in the country.
ChatGPT’s developer, OpenAI, has a privacy policy in place. However, the Italian regulator says ChatGPT is not complying with Europe’s GDPR privacy law, which requires companies collecting and storing data on EU citizens to properly disclose how they’re doing it.
